Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

AC1206FR-07820KL, CR1206-FX-8203ELF, CRCW1206820KFKEA, and RC1206FR-07820KL are all qualified substitutes with Active product status. These parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F824CS and are suitable for new designs and production applications.

Secondary Substitute (Not For New Designs):

ERJ-8ENF8203V meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance applications in existing designs and should not be selected for new circuit development.

Compliance Alignment:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original component across all application contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RCS3216F824CS with any of the listed parts in my circuit?

A: Yes, all parts with Active product status (AC1206FR-07820KL, CR1206-FX-8203ELF, CRCW1206820KFKEA, RC1206FR-07820KL) are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. ERJ-8ENF8203V is electrically equivalent but designated "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for replacement in existing applications.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute?

A: A valid substitute must match the original part in resistance value (820 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected).

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. AC1206FR-07820KL and CRCW1206820KFKEA are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. CR1206-FX-8203ELF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). ERJ-8ENF8203V is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). RC1206FR-07820KL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.
